Jamblez Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I'm trying to figure out a clean way to thin out a shape (in this case a hexagon). I've done this in the past for a circle with the bulge tool. But obviously doing this with a hexagon has the side effect of rounding the shape. Is there a tool or plugin that can help with this?

Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 How about this: Draw a new hexagon on a new layer above (Shape Tool has a hexagon - but you need to rotate it 90 degrees). Make the new hexagon a contrasting color and the thickness you require. Center it over the existing hexagon. Select the new hexagon with the magic wand tool Invert the selection with Ctrl + I Activate the big-hex layer Press Delete.
